Chapter 2

Question 1

independant ideal voltage source

Answer 1

Will either supply or absorb current

Question 2

how can ideal voltage sources be connected

Answer 2

in series but never in paralell.

Question 3

regulated voltage source

Answer 3

keeps a specifically rated voltage until it reaches the maximum current it can handle

Question 4

independant ideal current source

Answer 4

SUPPLIES a constant curent

Question 5

how can ideal current sources be connected

Answer 5

in parallel but never in series.

this is because they would have to overwrite each other by definition

Question 6

short circuit

Answer 6

when the resistance between 2 nodes is 0

Question 7

open circuit

Answer 7

the resistance between 2 nodes is infintiy

Question 8

equation for conductance

Answer 8

1/R

Question 9

one that models a device capable of generating electric current

Question 11

passive element

Answer 11

a device that can not generate electricity
